MOVE YOUR IE FAVORITES TO FIREFOX BOOKMARKS If you are moving to Linux from Windows, you will likely want to keep at least some of your Internet Explorer (IE) "Favorites." Here is how to move them to "Bookmarks" for the Firefox and Konqueror browsers on your Linux PC. (If you have been using Firefox under Windows, see this article instead.) Export Your IE Favorites To start, you will need to export the favorites as an HTML file. 1. From the IE File menu, select Import/Export. (If you are using IE 7 and you don't see the menu bar, just tap the <Alt>key once to make it appear.) 2. When the Import Export Wizard launches, click Next. 3. Select Export Favorites and click Next. 4. Select the folder you wish to export and click Next. 5. Choose to export to a file. (Use the default "bookmark.htm" and save it in My Documents.) 6. Click Next. 7. Click Finish to close the wizard. 8. Copy the file to a CD or other media that you can open on your Linux system. Import Your Bookmarks Next, you import the bookmarks into Firefox or Konqueror using the file bookmark.htm file. Firefox 1. In Firefox, select the Bookmarks menu, then Organize Bookmarks. 2. In the Bookmarks Manager select File, Import. 3. Choose From File, then click Next. 4. Select the file from the CD or other location where you put it, and click Open to complete the import. Konqueror 1. In Konqueror, select the Bookmarks menu, then Edit Bookmarks. 2. In the Bookmark Editor select File, Import, Import Mozilla Bookmarks. (Yes IE saved the file in the Mozilla bookmark format!) 3. Select the file from the CD or other location where you put it, and click Open to complete the import. .
